ASSETS owned by doomed regional development agency Yorkshire Forward must not be sold to the highest bidder, Kersten England, chief executive of City of York Council has told business and enterprise minister Mark Prisk.
Ms England told delegates at the launch of the Leeds City Region’s Innovation Capital Programme in York that work was under way to manage the assets owned by Yorkshire Forward.
She said: “I told him there are assets in this region that belong to Yorkshire Forward which can not be sold to the highest bidder or to developers who may sit on them until the price is right.”
